But why can't the teams themselves do it? All places I've seen or been to have had teams able to create their own repositories, either they use cloud Git providers like Bitbucket, Gitlab or Github, or they have self hosted Gitlab, Github etc.
Lots of places (unfortunately) restrict repo creation, or CI pipeline creation. The platform team might need to spin up the standard stack for your project, VON access added for AWS environments etc etc. In the sorts of orgs where this happens doing it properly is more important than getting started.
